SPCA of Texas Spotlight.

Cosmo Looks Like Garfield!

Each week, we team up with our friends at The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Texas (SPCA of Texas) to showcase a different animal that's in need of a loving home. We'll check out the animal, learn about its personality, do a short “interview,” take some cute pictures and report back to you on our findings. If any of the animals shown are to your liking, remember: They need a loving home free from abuse. And you could be that person to help. This week, we met up with Cosmo, a mid-length-haired redcoat cat. He's currently up for adoption at the SPCA of Texas (2400 Lone Star Drive; 214-742-7722).

Your name is Cosmo? I'm shocked your owners didn't name you Garfield, frankly.It's funny that you should mention that, actually. I'm a professional stunt double for Garfield.

Wait, the actual Garfield? Like, the animated cat from the comic strips?Yes. Anytime Garfield is in a potentially dangerous panel, I step in for him. Frying pan in the face? I'm there to take the hit. Dogs barking and about to bite? I step in.

That sounds unnecessary for a comic, but I will admit that the resemblance is uncanny.Unnecessary? We couldn't have anything happen to him! We'd lose our leader!

Leader? Like, there's some secret cat government or something?I can make no comments at this time.

Alright, we're going to wrap this up before it gets weirder. Could you maybe describe yourself in a few brief words for potential adopters?Fluffy. And unique, even if I look like our fearless leader.
